#twitterstorians any idea what this phrase means: 'Public jobbing'? Context: The Economist, Jan 1851 describing the state of progress in Britain and how far society had come since 1800, so in 1800 "public jobbing [was] flagrant and shameless". Thanks!
Just over a week until my paper on Household Intimacy during Outbreaks of Plague! I'll be talking about the tactile relationships between women, children, masters, and servants during epidemics and how theories of contagion changed the dynamics of the early modern household.
How did the plague affect touch and intimacy?
In this seminar, PhD researcher @_claire_turner_ will discuss her paper 'Household Intimacy during Outbreaks of Plague.'
Organised by @KatRawling.
